The apartment is in a beautiful and peaceful valley, there is just too many great places to visit within a short drive. It is a splendid place to disconnect, enjoy the country and the forrest, and the GOR. Highly recommended.

The location is perfect for exploring Port Campbell NP and Otway Ranges NP. Apollo Bay for shopping and dining is nearby too. Koalas we found literally right in front of the property.

Cozy heater, comfortable bed, full functioning kitchen with all the tools you need. Great location and also a great option to do a getaway with a big group of people. Friendly host stopped by to say hello to give us some pointers.

We were in the walkers lodge. Great location, did the whole great ocean road with this as our base. The owners were so friendly and welcoming. The place was emaculate and a good size for the two of us. Having external stairs between the downstairs lounge and kitchen and the upstairs bedroom was the only small downside. But nothing a quick run couldn't solve haha.

Beautiful location and comfortable, well equipped accomodation

Danielle Australia

Almost as good as home while travelling. Little outdoor space feels like South of France in summer. Close to everything except from heavy civilisation

Sam Australia

We had a lovely short stay at Glenaire. Great location to explore the surrounds. Property was clean, tidy and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. Host was a pleasure to deal with - thank you for your hospitality Angie.

We invite you to enjoy our secluded luxury apartments set in the stunning Aire Valley overlooking undulating farmland leading down to the beach. It is peaceful and relaxing away from the busy tourist towns with three beautifully appointed apartments all with full kitchen facilities in a superb setting.
We are farmers who love living in this pristine environment between the Otway forest and the stunning ocean.
We are located on the famous Great Ocean Road, 15 minutes drive to Lavers Hill or 30 minutes drive to Apollo Bay. We are located close to the Great Ocean Walk and it is a short stroll to the beach or the famous Otway forest.
